Who's next?

Today, we've got a check-in with the young companies of our RealLIST Startups 2021 list. There's lots of little updates from a diverse list of ventures, but taken together, we hope it offers a bigger portrait of how the city's early-stage companies are doing at this moment.

 

Our next list of the city's most promising companies will be out in early 2022. We'll open applications later, but for now the list is forming in our notebooks. So it helps to get an early heads up.

 

Help us out: What Baltimore startup do you think deserves more attention? Email us your picks at baltimore@technical.ly.
